On the day that Yeom Jun-yeol left for his school trip, his family members were all lonely.

Since his return from studying abroad, this was the first time Yeom Jun-yeol had been away for a long time, so they flocked to each other to say hello.

It was an unusual send-off, to the point where it was hard to believe that they were sending high school students on a trip that was only 3 nights and 4 days.

Yeom Jun-yeol happily responded to his family’s greetings without being bothered at all.

“It’s almost time to leave now. Everyone, let Jun-yeol go.”

“Wow, you look so excited about going to Jeju Island with Jun-yeol.”

“If you had chosen the next number, I would have gone! Please change it now. I’ve cleared my schedule.”

“Would you change it for me? Instead, I’ll take a lot of souvenir photos.” 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

“If you’re going to take photos, don’t take photos of the Jeju Island scenery or of you, just Jun-yeol.”

While the two Red Lion team members accompanying Yeom Jun-yeol and the other family members were exchanging greetings, the Yongwangshin shamans, led by the Sulfur shaman, appeared.

The shamans had been exerting great effort by frequently contacting the Yongwangshin in order to respond to the recent events on the Korean Peninsula.

Everyone welcomed the Yongwangshin shamans who had come to see Yeom Jun-yeol at such an early hour despite being tired.

“Yu Hwang, did you tell the Yongwangshin?”

“Yes, of course. The Yongwangshin has decided to intervene more actively in the present world to help us.”

“I’m sorry for burdening you when you should have retired and rested comfortably. They say that being in contact with the Yongwangshin’s power for too long can cause physical strain. Are you okay?”

The Sulfur shaman shook her head slightly at the words of the blue dragon, enough to make the veil covering her face tremble.

The Sulfur shaman spoke with a powerful voice as if to reassure the worried dragons.

“Thanks to the consideration of the Dragon King and all of you, I am safe. As a result of the past incident, the Dragon King has given me great favor and given me even greater power for the well-being of the Dragon Clan.”

The power that the Dragon King has bestowed upon the Sulfur priestess was so strong that even the Blue Dragon nodded.

If the Sulfur priestess succession ceremony had been held without a hitch, a new Sulfur priestess would have been chosen, but an unexpected incident occurred and the generational change had not yet taken place, causing many to worry.

However, as a result of that incident, the Dragon King God gave even greater grace, and it is said that the relationship between the Dragon Palace and the Dragon King God priestess centered around the Yellow Dragon became stronger, and that they gained greater power.

The Yellow Dragon would happily and excitedly relay news from the Dragon Palace, saying, ‘The appearance and voice of the Dragon King God are closer than ever.’

‘It hasn’t been long since Jegeon-i passed away, and regardless of the cause, the young female shaman candidate passed away, so I was worried that Hwangryong would be very sad, but it’s fortunate that the Dragon King God is looking after him.’

In fact, Hwangryong, who overcame the sadness of loss too quickly, was on his mind.

Yeom Jun-yeol wasn’t the only one who thought this.

In particular, Cheongryong thought a lot about Hwangryong’s attitude, so he contacted him often through the magic circle.

Still, since it was impossible to ask Hwangryong why he wasn’t sad and in pain, he had no choice but to watch.

Although there were more and more people who felt uncomfortable with Hwangryong, no one could guess that he had been eroded by his dirty scales over a long period of time, to the point where he couldn’t tell the difference between the Dragon King God and the Snake King.

“Jun-yeol, the weather is expected to be clear throughout the school trip. However, since you’re going to a place surrounded by the sea, always be careful. I’m praying with the Dragon King God for a comfortable trip.”

“Thank you, Sister Yuhwang.”

The Sulfur Shaman told Yeom Jun-yeol while reporting the weather herself.

The short-term forecast released by the Korea Meteorological Administration also said that clear weather would continue throughout Jeju Island, and since even the Sulfur Shaman, who has been known to hit the mark recently, said that, it seemed like there was no need to worry about the weather.

Those who were worried that their precious descendants might get wet while traveling brightened up.

Next, Yeom Jun-yeol exchanged greetings with the Nok, Byeok, and Ja shamans while listening to their words of encouragement.

The greetings from the shamans were warm, as befitting a family that had relied on them for a long time.

The atmosphere was shaken when Yeom Jun-yeol mentioned the names of the shamans who were not present.

“I wish I had greeted Hong-i too, but that’s too bad. Are you doing well in the Dragon Palace?”

The moment Hong-i’s name was mentioned, the shamans’ special powers, except for the Sulfur Shaman, wavered.

Yeom Jun-yeol thought back to himself for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his words, but since they were just ordinary greetings, there was no problem.

The shamans immediately gathered their energy, but they could not fool Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheongryong who were standing nearby.

‘Why are the shamans acting like that?’

They did not seem to be surprised or embarrassed by Yeom Jun-yeol’s words.

Rather than being embarrassed, it would be more accurate to say that they were annoyed because they could not hold back their momentary discomfort.

In fact, they were having a headache because of Hong’s shaman who kept talking nonsense about having to reveal everything to the dragon tribe.

They tried to just kill her, but that didn’t work either.

Now, rather than intervening in the present world, the real Dragon King God, who was on the verge of extinction, seemed to have put all his energy into protecting one last shaman who followed him, and Hong’s power was so tightly tied that if they killed her wrongly, there was a possibility that the shaman position would be vacant forever.

In order for the Imoogi God to be reborn as the true Yongwang God, it was necessary to protect the symbolism of the five-colored shaman.

So, the Sulfur shaman used the shamans of the Yonggung Palace to torture Hwangryong, who firmly believed that the Imoogi God was the Yongwang God, in front of his eyes to shake his mind, and he worked hard to take away the power of the Hong shaman by borrowing the power of the dark curtain through the Nabiryung.

‘What’s wrong with Hong? But rather than worrying, it’s something... ... .’

Yeom Junyeol wondered inwardly, but didn’t ask outright, but the Cheongryong asked right away.

“Why is that? What’s wrong with Hong?”

The shamans’ faces were covered with cotton threads of their own symbolic colors, so their expressions could not be seen.

The Dragon Clan and Red Lion team members who were a little further away also turned to look at Hong’s name, perhaps worried, one by one.

The priestesses who showed their disheveled appearance were silent, but the Sulfur priestess took care of them.

The Sulfur priestess, who was the only one who had kept her composure and hidden her feelings perfectly, spoke in a sad voice.

“Hong-i’s condition is not very good. Even though Hwangryong and the priestesses of the Dragon Palace are taking care of him with great care, there is no improvement, so all the priestesses, including myself, are worried and suffering.”

“Hong-i is not in good condition? Hwangryong didn’t say a word to me.”

“Hwangryong, who is deep-hearted, knows how complicated things are on earth. Didn’t he want to ease Cheongryong’s worries?”

As Sulfur spoke, the faint suspicion Cheongryong had for a moment immediately subsided.

The other priestesses’ attitudes were bothersome, but sometimes worrying too much can turn into suffering, so Cheongryong and the other dragons did nothing but worry about the priestesses.

Yeom Jun-yeol had decided to be more careful when buying souvenirs for the female shaman Hong, but he couldn’t quite pull himself together.

It was because when he felt uncomfortable with the female shaman, he remembered the conversation he had with his mother Chok-rin.

―I had a bad dream.

Chok-rin came to Yeom Jun-yeol’s room a while ago and spoke.

Chok-rin’s face turned pale as if she had remembered her dream.

―A bad dream?

―Yes, fortunately, the female shamans came to give him advice at that time. He also got advice from the Dragon King.

When he mentioned the female shaman and the Dragon King, Chok-rin seemed relaxed and spoke comfortably.

―She told him not to worry because it was a good dream. She also told him not to share the information carelessly because it could cause his fortune to run away. However, because I had a dream related to Jun-yeol, I wanted to see her face.

Yeom Jun-yeol believed in the female shaman and the Dragon King, but he was concerned.

Although it was said to be a good dream, Cho-rin must have had a dream so scary that she turned blue and tried to look at Yeom Jun-yeol.

Since Cho-rin’s dream was said to be connected to someone, it was unclear whether the dream was good or bad because it had nothing to do with Cho-rin or Yeom Jun-yeol’s fortune.

Also, the ones who gave Cho-rin advice about his dream and showed a strange attitude toward Hong-i were all the female shamans.

‘I should consult my father and Uncle Cheongryong after the school trip.’

Even at this moment, Yeom Jun-yeol was worried rather than suspicious of the female shamans.

He didn’t think at all about the possibility that they had betrayed him, and he was just worried that something the female shaman was holding onto mentally was causing a sense of discomfort due to her overwork.

In the end, Yeom Jun-yeol said his final goodbyes to his family without revealing his thoughts and left for his trip.

After arriving at Jeju Island, we conducted a headcount check with the class leaders.

There were about 150 students from Eun Gwang High School who set foot on Jeju Island.

There were clearly about 200 students who wanted to participate in the school trip at first, but after the accompanying teachers were announced to the students, about 50 of them left.

Because of that, there were classes like Class 0 where no students came at all or only two or three students came.

So the students in those classes had to go through separate reorganization and other procedures.

As a result, some teachers who were in charge of third-grade classes were excluded from the accompanying teachers.

‘It would have been nice if the homeroom teacher of this class had come... ... .’

When Eun Gwang High School goes on a school trip, the teachers, such as the homeroom teacher, assistant homeroom teacher, and the head of the department or vice principal, accompany the students.

However, some classes either did not participate at all or only a small number of students came.

In that case, only one of the homeroom teacher and assistant homeroom teacher would come, or none at all.

‘That person shouldn’t have come.’

Cheon Dong-ha glared at Choi Pyeon-deuk, who was sitting in the best seat in the teacher’s airport limousine.

Choi Pyeon-deuk, who became the student council president after Jegal Jae-geol, became the head teacher and the person in charge of this school trip.

Choi Pyeon-deuk didn’t have the power of Jegal Jae-geol, so he couldn’t be the homeroom teacher of Class 0, but he was in charge of the class that Andain was in, and he was greedy for a position with a name on it while causing pain to the students.

Also, he greedily took the seat, but he didn’t do anything.

Choi Pyeon-deuk was the student council or the leadership team’s autonomy.

If you want to keep your surname, he said, “You guys, take care of your own business,” and left all the work to them.

However, he used his authority as the person in charge to make a big change to the school trip plan that the student council and the leadership team had made together.

“I included a specific course, and I also designated all the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} restaurants and lunch boxes. I couldn’t check it because I changed it right before, but I’ll have to investigate if they received bribes when I get back to school.”

Because Choi Pyeon-deuk had changed many things without permission, there were already many people besides Cheon Dong-ha who were waiting.

Some third-year students from the student council and the leadership team even made excuses about their health and stayed at Eun Gwang High School to investigate, saying that they would really get to Choi Pyeon-deuk this time.

They stayed at Eun Gwang High School to investigate Choi Pyeon-deuk and prevent the other remaining teachers from acting up.

“What are you thinking?”

“I think the kids at school will suffer less while Choi Pyeon-deuk is here.”

When Kwak Kyung-gu, who had finished checking the personnel, approached and asked, Cheon Dong-ha spoke his mind without hesitation.

Kwak Kyung-gu nodded in agreement.

“It’s hot and Choi Pyeon-deuk is here, so it’s kind of crap, but I can endure it when I think about the kids at school.”

The two cheered up, thinking about the students who would be spending their days comfortably.

It was early fall, but Jeju Island was hot enough to feel hot if there was no wind.

In addition, it seemed like heat was rising from under the ground.

‘Is it related to Jeju Island’s unstable geology? The heat is so strong that Kyung-gu feels hot. Could there be a problem with the psychic wave around here?’

Cheon Dong-ha had doubts, but there were no abnormalities in the values ​​observed from the player satellite.
